08 Geneva: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Lamborghini pulled the wraps off its Gallardo LP560-4 supercar here in Geneva. The 560 ups horsepower to 560 (big surprise, right?) and sheds weight to achieve a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds. This seems like typical stuff for Lamborghini, but those improvements also post an 18 percent reduction in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. Top speed is a healthy 201 mph and the Gallardo now sports some LEDs for daytime running lights. The improvements aren’t game-changing, but there’s no doubt Lamborghini will sell every copy it decides to produce.
